It is EASY to OPERATE, TAKES BUT J.1TTLE JtOOM, 

is VERY DURABLE, is CONVENIENT in EVERY 

RESPECT, is a GREAT CZOTHES SAVER, 

AND HAS BEEN IN USE LONG ENOUGH TO PROVE THAT 

Tlie Longer it is Used the Better it is Lili^ed. 

It is the best tiling ever got up for Washing Wool, and is highly 
valued by Wool Growers for that purpose. 

It makes Churning, with the good old Dasher Chum, FIVE TIMES 
EASIER. " The proof of the pudding is in the eating," therefore

And nearly all the Agricultural Editors of the country, who have given 
it thorough practical tests in their own frmilies. In 1860, first premiums 
were awarded this Washer by the New Enyland Fair, the Penn- 
sylvania State Fair, the Wisconsin State Fair.

DOTY'S CLOTHES WASHERS 



ARE 

IMMENSELY POPULAR. 

They have earned for themselves a popularity which has 
never before been attained by any Washing Machine, and 
sufficient time has elapsed since their first introduction to 
prove that they are not of the class of implements which 
people go into ecstacies over for a short time, then cast 
aside. 

THE LONGER USED THE BETTER LIKED. 

We have abundant testimony, from persons who have 
used Doty's Clothes Washer more than a year, that after 
long use they value them even higher than at first. 
Among this testimony we refer to the recent statement 
of the venerable Solon Eobinson in the N. Y. Tribune of 
June 17, 1865, that, with a good wringer attached, this 
Waslier is worth a dollar a week in any family. This was after 
nearly one and a half year's use, in his own family, of one of the 
first of these Washers made, and one which was in several 
respects quite imperfect and inferior as compared with 
those now offered to the public. By referring to our testi- 
monials it will be seen that 



THE LEADING AGRICULTURAL PRESS 
UNITE IN PRAISING THIS W^ASHER. 

Agricultural Editors well know that, as a class, the wives 
of farmers generally are overtasked, and especially on 
washing day, and naturally have been on the lookout for 
something to render household work less fatiguing. Wo 
therefore refer to the praises bestowed upon Doty's 
Clothes Washers by the Agricultural Press with no little 
pride, believing that it will be appreQ].ated by the intelli- 
gent portion of the community. 

IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENTS. 

It is one thing to make a good thing, but much better 
to make a good thing that will stay good. One of the 
"good things" about this Wjish er is the spiing power 
which does the greater part of the lifting or raising of the 
handle-frame ; but it has cost a vast amount of study, dis- 
appointment, and vexation, to say nothing of hundreds of 
dollars of expense, to learn how to make this good thing 
stay good. This, by recent improvement, is at last accom" 
plished. Other improvements, calculated also to insure 
greater durability as well as symmetry and ooavenience 
have been made. 

WHY ARE THEY NOT MADS LARGER ? 

The Family size is large enough to wash six shirts at 
once, or a good sized bed-quilt, which is the largest article 
ordinarily to be washed, and the bulk of a bed-quilt (large 
and small articles are washed together) is as much as a wo- 
man's strength can operate at a time to advantage ; thci e- 
fore it is as large as is really necessary for general family 
use, and any increase of size would make it heavier, take 
up more room, cost more for transportation, and render it 
more liable to injury from larger surface to sluiuk and 
swell. The Hotel size does the work much faster, but re- 
auires more streiigul* 




CHURNSMG IVIADE EASY 

BY 

DOTY'S CLOTHES AVASHER 

Notwithstanding the multitudes of devices for icndeiing 
churning expeditious and easy, the old-fasliioned dasher- 
cliurn is still almost universally in use. It is simiile, dur- 
able, easily cleaned, and makes good biiUer^-not greasy, 
or oily, as is apt to be the case with those patent churns 
which bring the butter quicker. 

But it is very tiresome to operate the dasher churn in 
the usual way, on account of having to lift the dasher at 
almost arms' length. Doty's Clothes Washer is now found to 
be capitally adapted to save this hard work. By attach- 
ing the churn dasher to the handle of the Washer, wliich 
is done by a thumb-screw attachment furnished for the 
purpose, the spring power does most of the lifting, the 
body is at rest, and the power is applied almost directly 
under the shoulder, saving the arms' length strain. Thus 
churning in a good old-fashioned dasher-churn is render- 
ed more than five times easier, without additional expense. 
The washer is well worth its price for this alone to those 
having much churning to do. 



" SHOULD WE BUY THIS WASHING 
MACHINE?" 

This is a question which will present itself to people 
generally, and, without wishing to intrude, we take the 
liberty of ofifering a few suggestions. 

The first question to be decided is, whether the machine 
is a good one and can be used to advantage. The abun- 
dant testimony of prominent persons contained in this circu- 
lar ought to be sufficient to settle this question, yet we 
have such confidence in the machine that we and our can- 
vassers are glad to leave it, on trial, with any who wish 
to thoroughly test it before purchasing. 

IT PROMOTES HEALTH BY SAVING LABOR 

Sometimes persons who acknowledge the excellence of 
our machine do not purchase, because they have * ' plenty 
of help and can do all their washing without a machine, " 
or " have not much money to spare." To such we addres 
this circular. 

Suppose you had half a dozen boys, would you throw the 
reaper or threshing machine aside, and harvest your grain 
with the cradle or scythe, and thresh it with the flail, just 
simply because you had ' ' plenty of help ?" No . You would 
either buy or hire a machine, because with it the work 
could be done so much quicker and easier. Then, so you 
should with the washing machine, for you certainly do not 
wish to have your wife, daughter, or servant stand for hours 
at a time bent over the wash-tub, with aching back and par- 
boiled hands, and breathing the steam of the hot suds into 
her lungs, thus endangering life and health, when, by 



6 

getting a machine that will do the work so much easier 
and quicker, those evils may be avoided. 

IT MAKES MONEY BY SAVING CLOTHES. 

But there is another feature of this machine which per- 
haps you may overlook ; that is, * ' The Great Saving of 
Clothes." When you see this machine in operation, please 
notice the gentle manner in which it handles the clothes, 
contrast it with the nibbing and scrubbing of clothes on 
the wash-board, and then remember that nearly if not 
more than one-half of all the clothing you buy is worn out 
in the wash-tub, and you will see the vast importance of 
this consideration. 

It is the opinion of all who have used Doty's Ma- 
chine any length of time, that, even in medium-sized 
families, it will save the price of itself in the wear of 
clothes in six months, and will last many years. Then if 
you have not money enough to spare to buy a machine, 
certainly you have not the money to spare to buy extra 
clothes that will amount in a single year to double theprice 
of the machine, and to six, eight, yes ten times its price dur- 
ing the time it will last. Therefore the only true answer 
to the foregoing question is : 

Yes ; Every Family should have this Washer ! 



We contend that there are few, if any other, ways in 
which either rich or poor families can invest the price of 
this Washer to as good advantage as in securing the Clothes 
and Labor-saving aid it is capable of rendering. To those 
having wool to cleanse or churning to do, its services are 
still more valuable. 



6 

A GK50D WHINGER SHOULD BE USED WITH 
EVERY WASHER. 

We fumish the famous "Universal (cog-wheel) Wring- 
ers" attached to our Washers when desired, charging the 
manufacturers' regular rates extra, (No. 2, Family size,) 
$8.50. The "^Universal" is the most durable and effective 
Wringer we have seen. 

With the Wringer clothes can be wrung out of boiling 
hot water, which cannot be done by hand. 

Is it wise to go on rubbing and twisting clothes to pieces 

— wearing them unnecessarily enough to buy one of these 

Washers and a good Wringer every few months ? Is it not 

better to save the clothes, save labor, time, fatigue, save 

the health and strength, and lengthen the lives of wives, 

mothers, and daughters, by a timely investment in these 

machines ? 

►-♦-< 

TO PURCHASERS OF 

DOTY'S CLOTHES WASHERS. 

The greatest difficulty with beginners is in not having 
their suds hot enough. It should be really boiling hot. 
' * Boiling hot ! ' ' exclaims some startled housewife- 
" you'll not get me to pour boiling hot suds upon my 
clothes !" So you should not in Aanf?- washing ; but machine 
washing is quite different. Do you suppose the wives 
of those persons whose testimonials are given in our circu- 
lar do not Jmoiu whether washing by our directions injures 
their clothes? They are sensible wives, and capable ol 
judgmg what is best for their clothes, yet they use hot 
suds. They once had the same prejudice against it to over- 
come, but have learned wisdom, and would now say : "Not 
use hot suds ! Do you think I would have my clothes rubbeil to 
pieces insuds 7iot hot enough to dissolvethe dirt andgreasc, when, with 



;^ 



the aid of Doty' s Clothes Washer and boiling hot suds, the 
work is BO much easier and quicker done, besides the 
saving of clothes?" Go according to the directions in 
every particular as they do, and all will be well. You 
cannot have your suds too hot. Full directions for using 
accompany each Washer, 

Perhaps it will be objected that there is some hand- 
washing. True to a very limited extent ; but a sewing 
machine, for instance, will not do all the sewing on clothes 
— will not baste, sew on buttons, etc., yet no one wisely 
rejects it for this. It will do the great bulk of sewing many 
times faster than it can be done by hand, and therefore is 
a great Za6w-saver. So with these Clothes Washers ; they 
can be made to cleanse all, ^cc£pi now and then a streak, 
mang times faster than it can be done by hand, with easier 
labor — (far less exhausting^ because the inhalation of steam, 
and a bent position, are almost entirely avoided) — and far 
less loear of clothes. Therefore, they are both labor-savers and 
clothes-savers ; hence Rev. Mr. Mabon justly pronounces 
them a greater benefaction than tJie semng machine. 

Machines constructed to wash by rubbiiig prove failures 
because they must xoear clothes, and besides, must either 
wash so little at once as to require even longer time than hand- 
washing, or must work so hard that women in general can- 
not operate them. This is iDclieved to be tlie true reason of 
the universal failure of washing machines hitherto offered 
to the public. 

With these Clothes Washers the requisites for making 
^Yus]ling easy are : Thorough soaping and soaking of streaks 
hot and strong suds, kept covered with the lid, right proportions 
of suds and clothes, to have the latter turn readily yet not 
float too much : and a motion of the lever or handle that 
will beat, squeeze, and turn tliem wdl.

TESTIMCOIVIALS. 



From "</ic American Agriculturist," of December 1865. 

f)o!y*s iVa^hiwy Machine we have tried thoroughly, for nearly a 
year past, in competition with many others Bent to us, and for ac- 
tual service this eeems to bean improvement upon every previous 
machine we have tested. It is compact, and easily and naturally 
worked. Our ''better half," who has been complimented with the 
gift of a score or more of different machines for trial, says this is 
taken to most kindly by the " help," and that she oannot persuade 
hem to use any other while this is at hand. , 



Professor E. L. YoUMANS on Clothes Washers and Wringers. 

To the Editor of the 'aratogian : 

.When engaged three or four years since in the preparation of 
my work on Household Science, the problem of mechanical devices 
lor washing gave me serious perplexity. I observed, inquired, and 
experimented to little purpose, and was constrained at last to ac- 
quiesce in the universal feminine suffrage that washing machines 
were dead failures ; and therefore passed the subject by in the book. 
Nevertheless, I was not quite at ease in the deoision. It seemed ex- 
traordinary that mechanical genius, which is working such miracles 
in all other departments of industry, should break so completely 
when it entered the kitchen — should be able to contribute nothing 
toward mitigating the grim confusion and sloppy horrors of wash- 
ing day. At the last fair of the American Institute, in noting the 
progress in this department of inventive ingenuity, my attention 
was attracted to Doty's Cloilics VVnsher, as combining some 
points of marked advantage. The union of the fulling-mill princi- 
ple of action on the clothes, with the easiest possible mode of ap- 
plying the power, seemed sufficiently promising to warrant a trial; 
and I speak wiihin bounds when I say that they have fulfilled my 
utmost expectations Our family is not small, but a smart girl, 11 
years old, did the washing last week in about four hours ; and that, 
too, more as a frolic than a task. Indeed, our nymphs of the suds 
Would be highly indignant to part with the new help. I write sole- 
ly in the interest of the household.

From the American '•'•AgricuUunst,'''' March, 18G5. 

WASHING MACHINES -A GOOD ONE. 

The meshe e of cloth catch and hold many subetanccs whicli do 
not beloog there. These are usually made up of various matters 



10 

floating in the air. or,gathcred by contact vnth dusty enrfiices, and 
In wearing apparel, exhalations Irom the body help to soil the cloth. 
Water, properly applied, carries out some of the foreign particles 
mechanically; others are dissolved, and thus separate chemically. 
Hot water acts more readily than cold ; but even when heated, 
some substances do not yield to it, and soap, or other chemical 
additions are necessary to prepare them for separation from the 
cloth. To wash clothing ettectually, it is necessary to bring the 
water and soap, or other detergent, into repeateo. contact with 
every fibre, and the hotter the better ; and the process, or machine, 
which does this beet, and with the least labor, is first in excellence 
and most desirable, provided it is not too costly. 

Above we have illustrated a Washing Machine invented by Mr. 
Wm. M. Doty, which, in our judgment, combines the desired 
points in an excellent manner. The clothing is placed between 
the wash-board, J3, and the spring. A, and the wash-board is swung 
against it by means of a fi-ame, or handle, with its lower ends 
entered into slots in the upper end of the side pieces. The wash- 
board is placed to strike the clothes, eo they are kept rolling over 
and over, and a new surface is presented for each below, thus 
operating on the principle of a liillin^ mill. A cover for the tub ia 

?rovidedj to keep the water hot, which is an important addition, 
'he tub IB readily emptied by a faucet in front, not shown in the 
engraving. The family size of this machine will take the bulk of 
Bix shirts at a time, and wash them in three to five minutes, with 
much less wear to the clothing than by rubbing over the board. 
Our estimate of the value of this household implement may be 
judged by the fact that, after several months' trial in the family of 
the proprietor of the AgricuUvrist, by the side of several others, 
this was finally selected to ofl'er as a premium to our friends send- 
ing subscribers. The machine is also being introduced for washing 
wool, and is much liked for this use by those who have tried it. 



From the ''Enral New Ycrlccr,'" of October 1, 1864. 

There has been a great deal of money spent on Washing 
Machines. Their necessity has long been apparent ; and no one 
who knows aught of the luxury of clean clothing, and of the labor 
required to secure it, but has realized this want. Stimulated by a 
knowledge of this want in our own family, as well as by the de- 
mand indicated by the inquiries of our readers, v/e have been anx- 
iously looking for something which could be commended as an 
economical aid in washing. We think we have found it. We judge 
BO, not from experience with it, but from what we see of the prin- 
ciples of its operation, and from the testimony of others, whose 
judgment and experience is entirely reliable We mean Dott's 
Clothes and Wool Washer. Yesterday our attention was called to 
its merits by a gentleman who had learned its value by experience, 
and to-day we've been watching its operations and learning more 
of it. It is certainly simple, compact, easily and efiiciently oper- 
ated. And, glory to science ! its patentee was once an editor— we 
believe an agricultural editor. We should expect as much, for ed- 
itors are, by virtue of their vocation, philanthropists.

ifeks about the beat washinoj machines. In our report of the State 
Pair last fall we comniended Dorr's Washing Machine. Some 
of our friends have since purchased and used it, and aver that they 
would not do without it. It really merits all the sjonrl that 
can \iii sf/il'l of u, and we confidently commend it to our house- 
keeping readers. 



From the " WUcomin Fanner'''' of April!, 1865. 

A Washiko Machine Wonxn HAviKa.— The fact that so many 
washing machines have proved failures, and that women employed 
to wash are generally averse to trying new machines, induced us 
to allow Doty's Patent Clothes and Wool Washer to remain un- 
tested for a lon^ time. The first trial of it, however, was so success- 
ful that it has been in constant use ever since, whenever washing 
was to be done. . It is a good deal to say, yet Mrs. Hoyt instructs 
us to state that, in our family, it does all it proposes to do. The 
decision is that it Economizes Stkength, Time, Clothes, and 
Soap. Mrs. H. is especially pleased with the advantage of using 
Hot StTDS. This she has always considered cloth-saving, but in 
hand washing impracticable. Table-cloths, napkins, »fec., where 
there are apt to be fruit stains, have always been treated, in our 
family, to boiling hot water without soap, preparatory to after wash- 
ing. In this machine there is the advantage that the washing may 
commence when the water is hottest, and be kept warm much 
longer than in an ordinary tub by the nicely fitting cover. With so 
good a Washer and a good Wringer the wear and tear of clothes 
must be largely prevented, and for wool it would seem to be equally 
desirable. 



Report of the Agrlcnltaral Editor of the New York 

Tribune. 

East Toakers, N. T., '-Washing Day," April IS, 1864. 

Friend Dott— Tour last improvement of your Washing Ma- 
chine is a complete success. As it was before, it was the first 
machine that I could ever get countenanced. As it is now, all agree 
that it is more convenient, and washes more clothes at onca than the 
other. A little slim girl uses it, and an invalid lady, who has to 
sit down to work, can wash without fatigue. 

You have won blessings from all the women about this house — 
be assured of that. 

Your Friend, SOLON ROBINS ON. 

Note.— Mr. Robinson has the Family size.

Mr. Wm. M. Doty— Mr^From my experience In the use of 
Washing Machines, I am satisfied that your New Clothes Washer 
combines all the requisites of a good washer, and is the best and 
cheapest hand washing machine that I have ever seen. It is truly 
a great labor and clothes saver, and its simplicity, durability, cheap- 
ness, and ease of operation, make it espetially adapted to family 
use. The superior and easy manner in which it does the work, 
without injury to the fabric, must be satisfactory to all who use it. 
I cheerfully recommend it to public favor and patronage. 

A. HOLLAND,

JAMES BROWN, 
Of the house of Brown Bros. & Co., 59 Wall st. 



From the " Ohio Farmer'" of February 25, 1865. 

Having, in the course of a long service in the editorial field, been 
presented with a great variety of Washing Machines, which, after 
the first, or at most the second trial, by the women of the house, 
were laid aside as condemned lumber, it was with small faith that 
last fall we put on trial one of Doty's new inventions. This machine 
is easily worked and does its work well, as the mistress of the house 
reports after a trial of four months ; so we have no hesitation in 
commending it to all who would lighten the labors of washing. 



Says the " Working Farmer " for September, 1864 ; 

WRsll^ns^VooI wlfh Doty's CI nrhrs Wnsh'^r.— A gentleman 
of Somerset county, Md., who uses one of Doty's Washing Machines, 
has put it to a new. and we should think, very popular use. He 
writes under date of August 16 : "I succeeded nicely in washing 
and wringing dry the fleeces of my sheep. This discovery is a new 
use for washers and wringers, and'I think is every way preferable 
to the old way of washing wool. Besides, we can save all the oily 



JS^ 



P3 



matter for liquid manure, as well as cleaning the wool better." The 
euggestion of our correspondent strikes us as a Tery important one, 
and we take pleasure in communicating it to the public. The con- 
ptmction of Doty' s Washer, besides adapting it admirably to family 
washing, fits it better than any other machine for cleansing fleeces 
without tearing them apart. 



^^ ■♦ »■ 




WOOL. ^WASHIJVO. 



"Wool is washed in warm soft water— two ormore 
folded and tied fleeces at once. Wash carefully (so as not 
to tear the fleeces apart or mix them) about three minutes, 
or until clean. Draw oS a pailful of the oily water and 
replace with clean warm water, as often as necessary. 
Wash about half a minute to each batch in another clean 
warm water for rinsing. Wring them out with a rubber 
roll wringer, untie and unfold them in the sun to dry. 



14 

DIEEOTIONS FOE USING 
DOTY'S CLOTHES AND WOOL WASHEE. 

Dip all streaks or dirty spots in warm water, and soap 
them thoroughly. 

l^ruit §tain§ should not be soaked or soaped. The 
boiling hot suds is sufficient. :BBo©4l Staiias must not 
be washed in hot water. Soak Iron Rust in lemon juice. 
Sweet milk will remove grass stains. 

Put soap enough into the water wliile lieatlng to 
make a good strong suds. He SMS*e to let the suds 
BOIL, before using, and g^USE S'S' BOffLiIMG 
MOTT^^Jll except for colored fabrics liable to fade. 

Two pailfuls of suds to five shirts, three sheets, or that 
bulk of any kind of clothes, is about right for the family 
size. Hotel size, one-third more. Children or weakly 
persons, wash less at a time in proportion to strength, and 
use less suds. Large and small articles, sheets, shirts, col- 
lars, etc., may be washed together. Wash the cleanest 
white clothes first. 

Put on the cover to prevent splashing, and to keep the 
suds as II® T as possible ; work the handle frame moder- 
ately about two minutes, but bring it down with force 
enough to S>eat, squeeze, and TUISM the clothes, 
at each stroke. ICeep tBac Saids as Mot as Fos- 
silise, (except for fabrics liable to fade which should be 
left until the suds are partially cooled.) Change the suds 
when dirty, or too cool, and be sure to use 0001> 
SOAP. 

After all the clothes are washed tlirough and wrung out 
once, look them over, keeping- tliein a§ hot as 



15 



pos§ible to prevent shrinking of fibres and "setting" 
of dirt, Boap the dirty places, and proceed as before, bear- 
ing in mind that the hotter tlae *ttads nud. tSie 
clotEses are kept, the more eassly asid tiior- 
otigflsij tBae worli -will fee dorac. f^Two per- 
sons, one to sort the clothes and soap the " strcalis'' 
wliile the other works the machine, get along to the best 
advantage because there is no delay to cool the suds or 
clothes. 

If any parts are not clean after second washing, finish by 
hand. It is not necessary to boil clothes. Rinse and bluo 
in the Washer. 

The clothes are always kept on the grooved side of the 
swinging-board. The handle sides out, and the movable 
slide on top of swinging-hoard is to hold it fast to rub out 
streaks. 

If the Washer leaks or checks at first, wash right along, 
with dishes or dirty clothes under the leaks. The hot suds 
will soon tighten it. 

g^ Try sitting down on front end of cover with back to 
the Washer and handle frame passed down over the shoul- 
ders. This is the easiest posssible way to operate it, 
especially for children. 

Avoid sudden freezing of the Washer when water-soaked. 
Keep a little water in the tub when not infuse. 

Should the cover or any other part swell so as to bind, 
shave off a little . 

FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS 
and we guarantee you will like the machine. If the direc- 
tions are not followed, 

THE GUARANTEE IS FORFEITED.

SALESMEN WANTED 

TO SELH. 

The high testimonials by persons of national fame which 
have been bestowed upon this machine, render it easy of 
introduction into families for trial, and it is very rare that 
a housekeeper who tries it two or three weeks will dispense 
with it, if the purchase money can possibly be spared. It 
will certainly do all that is affirmed in our circular, if the 
directions be strictly followed ; and the saving of time and 
labor becomes apparent on the first trial. 

In every town of six thousand inhabitants there are 
about one thousand families; and an energetic agent, by 
securing a trial in a majority of those families, ought tc 
effect at least four hundred sales in a few months. 

At first this business will require time and special atten- 
tion ; but by first introducing the article into influential 
families and obtaining their recommendations, the public 
soon become familiar with their merits, and buy it as they 
would an ax or a saw, without trial. 

Many Wringers also can be sold with the Washers, very 
materially enhancing the profits. 

There never has been so favorable a time for this business 
as the present. Money is plenty, business is active, labor is 
high, the price of farmers produce is reasonably large, and 
the high price of cotton and woolen goods makes the 

SAVING- OF CLOTtlllSrG- 

a prime necessity. Besides, the introduction of Reapers, 
Mowers, Sewing Machines and other labor saving imple- 
ments, have taught people the folly of relying exclusively 



on the old systems of hand labor, and inclined them to look 
with favor oq inventions which show for themselves, and

Those who purchase machines for their own use are pre- 
ferred for canvassers, as they can speak of its qualities un- 
derstandingly ; but it is not always convenient for such to 
attend to it, and we give the 

EXCLUSIVE RIGHT OF SALE 

to the first responsible applicant who applies. 

The saving of both clothes and labor is really a great 
desideratum in every family ; hence it is not assuming too 
much to say that the introduction of Doty's Clothes Washers 
into a neighborhood is a piMic benefit, well worthy the at- 
tention of public-spirited and philanthropic persons. The 
testimcnials in the circular were given so freely and emphat- 
ically commendatory for this reason. 

The business is pleasant and healthful, and if properly 
pushed by a competent and energetic canvasser 

WILL PAY WELL. 

Dealers who have a good place to display the machine, or 
who will send them out on trial, are supplied where no 
canvasser has been appointed. 

A single Washer will be sent free of railroad freight 
charges on receipt of retail price. 

For wholesale terms (which are liberal), circulars, &c., ad- 
dress as below, giving plainly the State, County and Post 
Office address.
